New Stage Theatre will give ten full scholarships to its 2018 Broadway Jr. Summer Day Camp, a 4-week summer day camp culminating in a fully mounted production of Disney's Aladdin Jr. Scholarships will be awarded based on talent and financial need. Recipients will be determined through an audition and application process. The Broadway Jr. Summer Day Camp is open to students entering 6th - 12th in the fall of 2018. Since 2006, New Stage Theatre has awarded over 100 scholarships to its summer camps.

Scholarship applicants should prepare a one to two minute monologue and 16 to 32 bars of a song for the audition. Applicants must also provide a recommendation letter and a short essay explaining the reason for their application. Recommendation letters should be from an adult who is not family, such as a coach, teacher, pastor, or past show director who has supervised the applicant. Finally, applicants must submit an essay on the topic "Why Theatre is Important".

The 2017 Broadway Jr. Summer Day Camp, June 18 - July 15, will include four weeks of theatre instruction and rehearsals taught by theatre professionals. Students will be introduced to all the elements of theatre production in daily classes. The culmination of the camp will be a fully mounted production of Disney's Aladdin, Jr. on the theatre's main stage.

Scholarships are awarded through funding from The Walker Foundation and the Feild Co-operative Associations, Inc.
